The research group conducts its research activity in different lines of work:
Childhood and environment line Cohort study in collaboration with other research centres (INMA project) to share methodologies and knowledge on the effects of the environment on children's health, to describe the level of exposure and pollution during gestation and early childhood, to assess the role of the most common environmental pollutants and dietary protective factors on foetal growth and neuro-endocrine-immune development in order to develop environmental health indicators.
Air pollution and health line Study of the relationship between air pollution and health effects, developing multi-centre studies. Studies are also carried out to evaluate the impact of pollution on the health of the population.
Weather and climate line Evaluation of the relationship between climatic factors and meteorological variables, especially ambient temperature and health, as well as public health measures that can minimise the impact of foreseeable future climate changes.

Line of evaluation of the health impact of various environmental risks Through the measurement of the degree of exposure to risks, the development of biological markers and the relationship between these factors and the incidence of various pathologies. This impact is evaluated from different perspectives, ranging from environmental pollution (through biomarkers of exposure) to climate change (heat and cold waves), as well as the impact of certain technologies affecting the environment (mobile telephony, power lines, etc.).

- Objetivo general: Estudiar la relación entre factores ambientales y la salud humana. Objetivos específicos: Evaluar el impacto de los contaminantes ambientales en la salud de la población, con especial atención en poblaciones vulnerables, como los niños, las mujeres embarazadas, las personas de edad avanzada, migrantes, las personas con menos recursos económicos, sociales o educativos, mediante la realización de estudios observacionales utilizando las técnicas y métodos de la epidemiología ambiental. Estimar el grado de exposición a los riesgos ambientales de la población, en especial la residente en la Comunidad Valenciana, mediante el desarrollo de marcadores biológicos, medidas ambientales, cuestionarios y sistemas de información. Analizar la relación entre exposición a contaminación atmosférica sobre la salud de la población. Examinar los efectos asociados a temperaturas extremas (olas de calor y frío), así como las posibles consecuencias sobre la salud del cambio climático.
- Childhood and environment.Describe the level of exposure and pollution during gestation and early childhood, assess the role of common environmental pollutants and protective dietary factors on foetal growth and neuro-endocrine-immune development to develop health indicators.
- Air pollution and health.Study of the relationship between air pollution and health effects, with multi-centre studies being carried out. Studies are also carried out to evaluate the impact of pollution on the health of populations.
- Weather , climate, and health.Evaluation of the relationship between climatic factors and weather variables, especially ambient temperature and health, as well as public health measures that can minimise the impact of foreseeable future climate changes.
